Ki quietly led the way to a secluded room where they would not be disturbed. "I will guide you through each step so that you do not suffer a qi deviation. You must be prepared to face the pain but also stop your body from shrivelling up after your bones have been broken down. If you lose focus then you will be sure to die, I will do my best to make sure that you have everything in order to make sure that this is a success."
She began to talk about her own experiences through every stage that she had to endure until it was completed until the time came to begin.
Ki took out a jade box that contained another piece of Ginseng that was the same as the one that she had consumed. "Eat this whole as you begin the process."
The next couple of hours, she stayed watching over the Bone Metamorphosis of Marilyn until finally the impurities were discharged from her body and her bones began to reform.
As her body began to undergo this change, an unpleasant smell began to spread across the room but Ki still maintained her silence as she watched Marilyn complete her transformation.
Her medium length blonde hair was now much more shiny, her muscles became a little more defined and any abnormalities that she had gained during her childhood were now gone.
Although her skin was no longer pale and clear like when she was a child, she felt as if she was renewed.
However when she looked at herself, she could not notice the true changes behind her appearance with all of the impurities remaining on her body.
Ki noticed her behaviour and said. "First bath and then investigate your changes. Most people who undergo this process usually come out looking much more youthful and beautiful but I cannot say that everyone would. An average looking person would only be enhanced a little as their face shape may change a little and their skin clearer but that will not change your overall looks."
She had known Marilyn for many years now and watched her mature more and more over the years, so she knew better than anyone of her potential.
However Marilyn remained as she always had been, she kept her hair medium length, dressed in less womanly clothes but also gave off the aura as someone who would be a tough big brother or sister type to most people close to her.
After witnessing the change of her first hand, she knew that this was definitely not a small change and it may even prove to reveal a diamond that was somehow hidden among the people of the slums.
If she truly dressed up properly then she would receive many betrothal requests.
A while back, Ki had wondered if perhaps Marilyn was of noble birth or a part of some high lineage to inherit such good talent and looks.
Her hair colour did show that her mother or father may be part or full northern blood but one thing in particular stood out to her after hearing about Marilyn's past.
During her youth, she was often taught, protected and given food by an old man within the slums and as she was showing steady improvement, he would be there to guide her but when she was in real trouble he would also be there to assist her.
These behaviours did not stand out as someone that was a family member but also were not one of a stranger.
The remaining options were either he was a family elder or a friend who took her into their care during their remaining years of life.
The elderly man would make sure she was living but would not let her become dependant on him so that her families bloodline would continue even after his death.
Them living within the slums may have just been because it is an appropriate place to remain hidden from various influences that may have grudges against her family or it could be a test to see if she could survive in such a harsh place but also harden her so that she is not deceived or backstabbed once he passes away.
Thinking about it further, Ki had determined that it was very likely that her parents are no longer alive or they would have come looking for their daughter considering the efforts they took to make sure she survives without them.
Sadly in her previous life, Marilyn had wasted her parents efforts and wishes so that she could kill her way into the Wolfden City Lord's mansion and let many slaves escape to freedom.
She even carried Ki out within her arms and left her the Blood Sects martial arts books so that she could survive after looking after her for some time.
After that she heard that Marilyn had been killed when escaping capture.
During that time, Marilyn was a small light of hope to her already extinguishing life while she was also trapped in her despair.
The sole person who held out their hand to her when she was at her worst but also the only person in her life besides her family who had unconditionally given her so much without asking for anything back.
Even in this life their relationship may have changed but she could tell that she felt more comfortable around Marilyn more than the others.
After hearing about her death, she lost all hope and walked down a path of no return with one target in mind after learning the truth behind many events including the deep rooted members of the Blood Sect recruits and recruiters within Wolfden City.
Although the Blood Sect did not order the direct action against the city which lead to the death of her family and the events that lead to her meeting Marilyn before her death… they were still connected to it in some way which made them her target for elimination.
Ki looked around the filthy room after reminiscing for a while and spoke. "Well.. this needs to be cleaned.. but I am sure that this will not be the last time."
Marilyn may have completed her Bone Metamorphosis but many others were about to or had broken through to the Transcendent realm so they would soon join her in completing that next step once they had consolidated their realm.
